Android Trojan

If you are permanently connected to your android device like me, then this is not good news.

Apparently, the major impact is on banking software.

I dislike the concept of running antivirus software on my phone.

Well, if you have a smart phone, it might be a smart idea to run antivirus software on it. I hear they are starting to be targeted. (I have a dumb phone, and kinda like it that way. One of these days, though, I'll shed my Ludite ways. )

According to a quick Google search, there are only four antivirus apps for the iPhone:
1) A special secure web browser app... I don't really go to those sites.
2&3) Antiviral software from McAfee and Norton, the two companies whose products, in my experience, slow down PCs so much that you no longer care if they're infected.
4) Intego's software. Intego... I don't trust them. Every time (that I know of) that they announce they've found some hole in OS X security and their new software protects against it, news starts spreading of some new piece of malware which exploits said hole. There's never any proof that they're creating the malware, but the timing of it always smells fishy to me. As far as I know their software works as advertised, I just don't want to support what I imagine their business practices to be.

I don't carry a cell phone, I carry an android PDA. "Phone" is just one of the many apps it can run.

Jack of all trades. Master of none.
I like a phone that is a phone. My PDA is my PDA. May never the twain meet. (Though PDA days do seem notably numbered.)
